Generous Rivalry.

If people dramatically opposed to
zach other in opinion are ever ready
to find common meeting-ground, it
may easily be in music. An old sol.
der tells, in a Chicago paper, the sto-
ry OF two musical contests during the
war, in which one side emulated the
generosity OF the other.
When some of the parties were en-
camped at kenesaw Mountain,t the op-
posing parties were so near each 9th
sr that one could hear the bands OF
the other almost as plainly as their
own. On the morning OF July 4th, the
Union bands played our national airs,
while those OF the confederate army
gave "Dlxie" and the Bonnie Blue
Flag"
For q time there was quite a con-
test as to which side could make the
most noise, and after that had ended,
the confederates, to the great surprise
OF the Union men, began playing Hail
Columbia"
Not to be outdone in courtesy, one
OF the Union bands then played "Dix-
ie," and the Interchange of compli-
ments continued through quite an ex-
tended programme. Enthusiasm and
generous feeling was the order of the
day, but that night the very men who
had been cheering each other we're en-
gagged in fierce skirmishing.
While the two armies were in camp
ut Chattanooga, there were twenty or
thirty excellent bands on each side
daily playing their respective airs.
One night, after most of them bad
retired from duty, three or four OF
the best bands in each army played
for an hour or more, as ii in rivalry.
In the Union camp, after "Hail Co.
lumbia" had been given, there would
be cheer on cheer from ten thousand
throats.
"Bonnie Blue Flag" from the other
side. would be followed by an equal
uproar from Its supporters.
At length, q Union band struck up
1.-THE Girl / Left Behind Me-" and, ior
@ minute, there was silence in the 9TH
TT camp; then q Confederate band
caught up the refrain, and two played
it together to the end. When they
had finished, there came, as if by com
mon impulse, q succession OF cheers
from both camps, and the pickets,
throwing caution to the winds, stood
up and shouted together.-Youth's
Companion.

was Mt the dictates Of King Monopoly. She
said that about the same condition of things
existed in this country, where free speech
has been stricken down. Mr.. Perry of
Quincy, III, said the idea that the Irish peo-
pie were not ca,1able OF self-goveYn-
ment was an absurd and false
one. Ia England give them q chance" Mr..
Perry suggested. After o few remarks by
Delegate Best, Miss Hollingsworth, the only
colcred Indy in the convention, said tn at
there was n feeling of sympathy among the
colored people for Ireland. She said the
condition of the colored people in the South
was fully as bad as it was IN the days of
slavery. Paul Meyer, q New York delegate,
spoke in behalf of the Germans, and ex-
pressed his and their sympathy for tho cause
in which Mr.. Davitt was engaged 1t re-
manned tor Joe Labadie, the printer delegate
from Detroit, to make the humorous speech
of the occasion.
Ladies and Gentlemen: l wish to say that as
all nationalities have been heard from, it is no
more than fair and right that I should move
the adoption OF this resolution OH behalf of the
original Americans, of whom I am n represent
tatiye.
Mr.. Powderly suggested that perhaps the
people did not understand Mr.. Labadie's
roint, and tie Detroit delegate continued:
Simply this. that only four generations ago
my ancestors roamed about this country be-
decked in war paint, feathers and tomahawks
and emitted blood-curdling war whoops from
their lips
The audience found in this little speech
the cause of much merriment And they
are wa%r-whooping yet" said Nh. Labadie.
After further speechmaking' by Delegates
Mitchell of Richmond, and Joseph l. Evans
and H. l. McGaw of Pittsburg, Mr.. Powderly
announced that the resolutions had been
adopted. Mr.. Davitt remained in the hall
for some time in social conversation with
delegates,
